What do I do if my printer is not printing at all?

< 1 min read

If your printer is not printing at all, try the following steps:


  1. Check to make sure that the printer is powered on and the USB cable is properly connected.
  2. Check your printer’s paper tray to ensure that it is properly loaded with the appropriate media and size.
  3. Verify if your printer is recognizing the type of paper you are trying to print.
  4. Access the page setup options in the print dialog to double check the settings for your document.
    • The size, margins and orientation should be set correctly.
    • Print in grayscale instead of color, if possible.
    • Make sure page scaling is set to none.
  5. Visit your printer manufacturer’s website and check if any drivers or software updates are available.
  6. Restart your printer and your computer to see if the issue is resolved.
